NEBULISED ANTIBIOTICS
USER GUIDE
DO I HAVE TO CLEAN THE
NEBULISER AFTER EVERY
TREATMENT?
It is essential to remove the medicati-
on residue as soon after the treatment
as possible. If the residue dries, future
cleaning may not remove all the
residue. If you are unable to wash the
nebuliser after every treatment, rinse
the nebuliser thoroughly and resume
cleaning as soon as possible.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO
REPLACE MY PARI NEBULISER?
The aerosol head alone should be
replaced every 3 – 6 months.
The nebuliser handset should be
replaced at least every 12 months.
DO I NEED TO USE AN
EXHALATION FILTER ON THE
NEBULISER?
The filter is an optional accessory that
will minimise aerosol escaping into the
room. This may be important if you don’t
want family members or anyone other
than the patient inhaling the antibiotic
aerosol mist. Exhalation filters are used in
hospitals and clinics to prevent nurses etc
from inhaling the aerosol mist.
DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTI-
RE EXHALATION FILTER SET AFTER
EVERY TREATMENT?
NO – The PARI exhalation filter was
designed to open so that only the
filter pad is replaced. Usually the filter
pad is replaced after every treatment.
Replacement filter pads are available
in packs of 30, 100 or 1000.
